[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t have an issue with trailer parks. I’d rather them than apartments. [/quote]

It will be both. They will override local zoning to allow apartment buildings by-right on these lots after they make 5,000 sq ft the minimum lot size. A six story single stair apartment building could easily include 24 units on a 5,000 sq ft lot. The minimum lot size changes in combination with zoning changes to allow single stair apartment buildings will make it feasible to build apartment complexes with a density in excess of 100+ units per acre in single family neighborhoods. It will not stop with this proposal, its a long-term strategy to eliminate local control with death by a thousand cuts. California has now passed a law to override local zoning and allow developments in excess of 100 units per acre in some parts of the state. [/quote]

Apartment buildings will spring up throughout Virginia, market dynamics be damned!

In other news, the sky is ALWAYS falling when it comes to building housing.[/quote]

The market does not provide new public schools, roads, infrastructure, or protect the environment. If you actually believe in market-oriented solutions you would support impact fees that cover 100% fo the cost of infrastructure required for new housing units. YIMBYs don’t support this at all, they just want to privatize gains and socialize losses to taxpayers. They are the left wing version of the CATO institute nut jobs that think any/all standards to protect quality of life are bad. [/quote]
